Description

Ugaritic, discovered in 1929, is a North-West Semitic language, documented on clay tablets and dated between the 14th and the 12th centuries B.C.E. The documents are of various types: literary, administrative, lexicological. The administrative documents shed light on the organization of Ugarit, thus contributing greatly to our understanding of the history and culture of the biblical and North-West Semitic world. This important reference work deals with the phonology, morphology and syntax of Ugaritic and contains an appendix with text selections.
